It requires very little maintenance compared with genuine wood and several other types of siding.<\/p>\n According to Fortune Builders, vinyl siding has a return on investment of 75% to 80%. That means if you spend $15,000 on vinyl siding, your home\u2019s market value should increase by $11,250 to $12,000. This ROI is slightly higher than average for other siding types like brick veneer siding and several others. Siding replacement yields a higher return as a percentage, than most interior or exterior home remodeling projects.<\/p>\n This cost estimate<\/em>, or Costimate<\/em>, breaks down vinyl siding types, cost factors and top brands.\u00a0We\u2019ve gathered cost estimates from other dependable estimating sites and offered homeowners the opportunity to share the scope and cost of vinyl siding for their home. Feel free to return to Business Finance News to share your vinyl siding price for the benefit of other readers once your project is complete.<\/p>\n A price range of $4.30 to $7.65 is pretty wide. Material cost and installation factors both impact final price.<\/p>\n In terms of the last factor, we recommend that you get multiple estimates, and check on quality and expertise, not just cost. A cheap job done poorly becomes costly quite quickly, while a pricey installation that looks good for decades is worth the money.\u00a0Anyone you hire should be licensed and insured for liability and property damage.<\/p>\n The amount of siding you need can be determined by measuring the footprint of your home in linear feet and then multiplying that number by the height of the walls. Consider a 30\u2019x50\u2019 home with 8\u2019 ceilings. Total the linear feet of the four side this way: 30+50+30+50 = 160 linear feet x 8 = 1,280 square feet of siding before gables are considered. The same home with 10-foot ceilings would need 1,600 square feet of siding without gables.<\/p>\n Gable area can be determined by the formula for the area of a triangle \u2013 \u00bd the base x height. In our example, that would be 30 x 8 x .5 = 120 square feet for each gable or 240 square feet for two. Add the gable areas to the total to get a total of 1,520 square feet or 1,900 square feet for 10\u2032 ceilings.<\/p>\n The cost breakdown for average vinyl siding is about 50\/50 for the materials and the labor. If you choose premium siding, the material cost might be 60% of the total. Cheap siding accounts for roughly 40% of the total. How difficult the installation is affects the balance too.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s look at your vinyl siding options and their retail cost ranges. There is more information on labor costs below.<\/p>\n Vinyl siding is produced to look like wood siding. It is made from PVC, a durable and versatile plastic used in a wide range of building materials.<\/p>\n The siding is extruded in two layers, base and capstock, and the layers are fused together. The capstock, or outer layer, is fortified with acrylics for strength and to prevent color fade.<\/p>\n Expect vinyl siding to last 20 to 30 years based on initial quality, climate factors such as heat and potential wind\/hail damage and your tolerance for siding that looks a bit faded and shabby.<\/p>\n If your home is drafty or you want better insulation, be sure the house wrap is in good condition or is replaced before you install new siding. Adhering 1\/2-inch to 1-inch foam board insulation to the home\u2019s sheathing before installing the siding is a more cost-effective way to boost insulation value.<\/p>\n There are a handful of brands that sell nationally. You might also want to consider regional brands sold in your area that have a good reputation for quality and durability. Getting estimates from local siding contractors is a good way to find what they believe to be the best siding brands for your climate.<\/p>\n Here are leading national brands. All sell the full spectrum of profiles, styles, thicknesses plus insulated vinyl siding.<\/p>\n If you hire a pro, here are cost ranges for the various types of installers. The costs include the installation of all materials.<\/p>\n The size of the crew, the size of your home and the complexity of the work will determine how long it takes to side a home.<\/p>\n A two-person crew can install about 40 square feet per hour, or 400 square feet in a 10-hour day.<\/p>\n Your schedule for a 2-person crew will look something like this:<\/p>\n Successfully installing vinyl siding takes a collection of basic carpentry skills and tools.<\/p>\n The challenge is that it takes time to become proficient in the skills and techniques required. Just a few of the challenges are:<\/p>\n We don\u2019t recommend siding your own home if it\u2019s your first attempt. You\u2019ll be better prepared if you first help a friend with siding experience on a project they\u2019re doing.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re the lone ranger type, consider siding a storage building or shed first to learn the techniques and decide if you want to tackle your home. Video tutorials are available, but there is no substitute for hands-on learning from someone that knows what they are doing.<\/p>\n That\u2019s our advice. Some readers will have enough confidence in their skills and experience to tackle the project. From 40% to 60% of the total cost can be saved by DIY, and that is very attractive.<\/p>\n Just keep in mind that if the results show flaws in installation, you\u2019ll have to re-do the work, pay to have them repaired or live with them for quite a long time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/main><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" $4.30 \u2013 $7.65 Per Square Foot The average cost to have vinyl siding installed is $6.40 per square foot with professional installation, and a good quality siding.
